Zhou Yi-book of change explanations (88)
In the second chapter of the following section, there are three Yi Say-易曰. Everyone needs to understand. Why do you use 曰? 易曰, means Yi talks, can Yi speak? will not. Therefore, we called what Confucius said子曰，it has to be in a day with sun, then yi is Gua.
In the record of gua, it must be seen during the day, and only during the day be able to see it. Otherwise, how can it be 易曰? I can't speak. Everyone turned the 曰into saying, that 曰 is not quite the same as saying, why did it become said? In fact, when it’s Yi to see 曰, it’s not Yi is talking, it’s people who see this Yi, and to read this Yi record, that one person can say, that one person can talk, and finally put that person’s said, just make it change to 曰-talk, if he has not read anyone who really studies ancient literature, he will read it as 曰-a day, and in fact it is right. After the Han Dynasty, the 曰 is the same as that of the day. What should 曰 do? Therefore, in the script, the day is stretched, the squatting is flat, and the two 曰 is Chang. This is a very interesting question.
Two 曰 become Chang, under the sun, no matter what it has temperature, you see 湯，燙-soup, hot. So no matter what angle you are reading, you have to think about a lot of things. Considering its glyphs, a simple 曰 you can turn into a scorpion in a light day. This 曰 finally becomes a talk, speaks, actually means reads, read Yi.
These three Yi are to be called by the Confucius, and they are expressed by the heart. We use our perspective to express.
易曰: 憧憧往來，朋從爾思
In this record, it is probably very simple, but the Confucius has pulled it a lot and made it very long.
子曰:天下何思何慮
What is the big thing in the world? What to consider, free you.
天下同歸而殊塗
If it rains in the world, the same return, if we go to the wilderness or go to the mountains, if it rains, everyone will get wet.
一致而百慮,
The 慮-considerations here, the considerations are the meaning of thinking. The same thing, a chalk, in my hands, I want to write a blackboard, in the hands of children, maybe he graffiti on the ground. If in others hands, maybe he has to do the mark. Master, who is a suit maker, after making the cloth, use the powder to draw the picture, and finally cut it, so that everything, different ideas, different considerations, may be more correct with this consideration.
It can be seen that the concept of Confucius's uses the concept of human beings to discuss the record of the Book of Changes. Only these eight words, Confucius tells it and talks so much, so his students have to cut the bamboo and fix it, and the students have done it for a day. Not done yet. Don't think that those words are engraved. Just like we write a ball pen, we listen to one side. Before the senior secretary had to listen to a type of typing, after the typing was done, the boss looked at it without mistake. The name could be signed. But the time of Confucius was not, maybe Confucius only said these eight words in the morning, and he explained this content. All the students would have to engrave one day. So before, reading, why this is difficulty, first, when you want to go to the teacher, it is not finished with the fee to Confucius. You must know how to repair bamboo and engrave bamboo, so why is the ZiLu so fierce? He made money, repaired bamboo, he told others to fix it, took it with the car, and then another classmate engraved, anyway, there is money, you have to eat, then I will give you a carved, so we used to said well knowledge is to learn five cars. The car thing, is thing is inside bamboo piece, we are now a small memory card with the record of the previous 50,000 cars.
So there are a lot of people who want to learn Yi, can know Gua, can explain how, I tell a lot of people, it is not just memorized those things is enough, need to learn a lot, add the information inside, there are only eight words can be explained, so that students can do their homework for whole day. How big is the problem of how to read Yi Jing, is all about how do we confess it.
